Sami Farmer spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and three unearned) runs on five hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Potomac School). Their pitcher stepped up to hand St. Andrew's Episcopal a 19-0 shutout on Tuesday. The Panthers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten games by ten runs or more this season.
Catherine Stallmer made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, pitching three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Stallmer was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in two of her three plate appearances with one run and one RBI.

Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.0 runs over those games.
